,-To VaZZ whom t may concern Beit known that I, JOHN Winnaar,

a citizen of the United States,

Y 5911 Prytania Street, in the city 'ot Nen7 Orleans, State ofLouisiana,

have invented p `,certain new and useful Almproveinents in Y iopitvappertains to make ad t v Y @The invention relates to collated Work.sheetsl andhas for itsobjectto provide aV Clare the following toloe t texact description ofthe invention, suchasr in the art to whichCollatedVork Sheets; and l do hereby` de?` a full, clear, and

will enable others skilled nd use the saine.

simple andeilleetive arrangement ofl a main :Work sheet, such as a`ledger sheet, and Va l ,secondary Worksheet, such as a statement,V,which latter isv made in the form oi acontinuous band extending aroundthe Vmain,

Work sheet and engaging arslot in a trans` verse edge of the main. sheetto lock the g, sheets together. The sheets thus associated preferablyhaving a sheet of Vcarbon paperY or other transfer medium interposed beftween them, ivhich carbon sheet is Valso preferably in the form of acontinuous band,

Y the .main sheet having a column oit figures along one edgecorrespondingto line spaces of. a typewriting machine A inxwhich the icol,

lated sheets areemployed, the front face of the supplementarysheethaving a similar.

column of Vfigures -alon'g one edge, and lthe rear portion of theband-like supplementary` sheet having a series of lines of perforationssimilarly spaced, to correspond with the line spacing or a typewriter,said perforated lines preferably being p rovided with tivo columns ofgures in reverse order to. each other, the (1o-ordinated sheetsproviding a means .for a permanent record on both sides off the mainsheet, and the supplementary sheet affording means for making aremovable `record for a given periodv of time.V

which record may be included on both the front and, back sections ot thebandlike supplementary sheet. f V

The invention is illustrated Y companying drawings, in which,` Y

Fig.V l is a front velevation of the main and supplementary sheets `inassembled relation;

j Fig. 2 isa rear elevation ofthe saine;y

,residing at v lside edgeof the sheet l yitront and rear i''aces of1922. Serial No. 568,192,

Fig. 3 is a sectional elevation of the Vassembled sheets.

Referring to the drawings, l represents Vthe main record sheet, which,for the purpose of illustration, is Vsheet which may be in an Aordinaryledger the forni of a card, or leaf such -as employed in a loosesleailbook, said sheet being provided With the usual concomitante of a ledgerrecord including a space for the heading, andthe usual column indiciasuch as Date, items, Debits, Credits desired, additional coland Balance,andii umnar spaces i'or additional data. @ne or i, both of thetransverse edges of the sheet l is provided With` a slot or indentation,as represented by the numerals 2 and 3, of agvidth substantially equalto that of the supplementary sheet. Near one marginal there is provideda series of consecutively numbered spaces corresponding to the linespacing on the typeivriting machine With Which the assembled sheets areemployed.

The supplementary sheet l0 is formed as acontinuous band or belt-likestrip which extends longitudinally of and overlies the the mainsheet-1', and engages fthe slot or slots .2, 3, in the main sheet,therebyl locking the two sheets together and preventing any lateral, orloiigitudinal movement or' the supplementary sheet with respect to themain sheet. front tace oi the supplementary sheet is provided withsimilar headings, spaces, columns and rulings as the portion ot the main1 plementary sheet is provided with a series ot transverse linearperforationg 13, which include the entire rear sectionand the lines otthe folds 0r creases Where the supplementary sheet passes overhandaround the hottoinsof the slots in the edges of the main sheet, andpreferably these perforated lines The is disposed a column l2 of conare`provided with rows or columns of con-j secutive numbers, the numbers inthe respective columns being in reverse order, and the lines beingspaced t agree with the type" Vwriter line spacing.

`Nhen the main `and supplementary sheets have been' assembled asindicated,'the front Y and back Sections of the supplementary sheetclosely overlie the adjacent faces of the main i Ameans for effectingthetransfer may be employed, such, for example, 4as proyiding the innerfaces of the secondary sheet with Vto the primary sheet.

a transferring composition, butthe transfer' is preferably effected byinterposing la carbon transfer sheet between the inain and supplementarysheets. desired, Vthe carbon sheet also be foriiiedias "a continuousband, in which 'event only one ysection of the carbon sheetcorresponding in length to the main sheet will be coated with thetransfer composition, in "order to prevent the lrecfordas printed by thetypewriter `be` ing impressed on the bacl of the Vmain sheet. Theadvantage of forming and applying the carbon transfer sheet i as acontinuous band istha't it may be accurately adjusted with thesupplementary in properrelation to transfer the record i Obviouslyalso', the transfer sheet may consist of a single :sheet VofV carbonpapier andthe like, of the 'same length as "themain sheet, wliichm'ay beVslipped in between the supplementary 'and 7 main sheets and removedafter'one side of the record Ishi-iets have 'been printed, and

afterwards inserted between the rear section of the .supplementaryVsheet and theY back Vface ofthe main sheet.

The mode of assembling and using the collated sheets as above describedwill 'be apparent froml the foregoing description buta specificexempliiication ofthe use of Vthe invention in collatingledgcr sheetsand statements, as lillustrated inY the drawing, will render theadvantages ofthe invention perfectly clear. Assuming that theVVstatementis to 'represent transactions covering a 'montln and theledgerfaccount has been started on a new sheet, the supplementary sheetis slipped over the main 'sheet by bending the latter slightly in adirection' from top to bottom, andthe numerfall of column 12 on thesupplementary sheet brought into alignment with numeral 1 of column 5 ofthe main sheet.V lf a seliiaratet'ransfer sheet is employed, thesame isapplied simultane-V ouslywith the supplementary sheet. The two sheetsare maintained infthe assembled relation vindicated during the entireperiod covered by the statementV supplementary sheet, and the"successive items' areV Awritten sheet so yas to be always on the latterand simultaneously transferred l of lines on theV frontffacerof theledger sheet, it is necessary onl'y'to "reversef the latter' 'andbegin'tl'ie writing ,of theY itemson the next line'on the reversesidecounting Vfrom the bottom of the main sheet, whichj will `maire therecordfon .thesecondary sheet` I continuous, and in properisuccessiveorder.

After-'the record for the complete period rep- Y' A `resented by thestatement or supplementary sheet been finished, the supplementary to the-main sheet.' Should theV number i of items of transactions exceed thenumber'V sheetls removedby tearing along anyone Y Y ofthe perforatedlines )onthe rearsection thereof, 'after which new supplementary sheetmay Ybe substituted therefor. If'theY data tobe recorded on the'supplementary sheet represents a; continuation of lthe jdata alreadyrecordedon the Amainsheet, as' forV example, when the main `shee't'contains"a record of ttraIisactiOns coveringaffion'th, and

including tjhe'fi'rst ten lines represented by column 5, the newsupplementa'rysheet Ywill Vbe so applied'to theV sheet the numeral ,linjcolumn ,'12 will come opposite numeral ll iiitcolum'i'i 5,and.thefdata Arecord-V ed onfthe suppl eiifie'ntaryA sheetwill represent by thestatement or supplementary sheet, .and

sheet. After the "record on the-supplementary sheet has beencomp'leted,and Ithe"latter disengaged from lthe' main sheet, lthe` extra length orunused-portionof the supplementary sheet may be'i'enioved by tearing thesame at anyone of the'perforatedlines V13, as

will be understood.

What Iel'aim isi; f Y l. The combination Aofa -niainworlr sheet having aslot ma transverseedge thereof,j

a continuous supplementary work sheet' ex tending longitudinally offandV"aroi'ind :the

main sheet and engaging-said slot, and a transfer sheet 'interposedbetween the' "main and ysupplernentary sheets.
